Discussion starters:
-
Does this story depend on understanding an
epiphany to be successful?
-
Kobler compares Leila to Margaret in Gerard
Manley Hopkins's poem "Spring and Fall: To a Young Child." How
does such a comparison enrich our understanding of Leila?
-
Kobler claims that Laura, like Kezia in
"At the Bay," has "a sensitivity to the human condition"
lacking in other chatacters (76). How do you see this manifested?
